The Switch 2 features a large7.9″ LCD screen with 1080P resolution, plays the majority of OG Switch games and has 256GB of internal storage. There is a new Switch 2 camera accessory that can be plugged in through the USB C port. the C button on the right joycon is for chats with friends. There is a gameshare feature for select titles to play multiplayer off one copy of a game. This is remenscent of a DS feature back in the day. For expanded storage, it takes microSD express cards. Unfortunately regular microSD cards are not compatible with the console.
The Switch 2 Pro controller also features a 3.5mm audio port, which is convenient if you want to listen in on audio without using TV speakers.
